Answered on 5th Sept '24
If a dog of yours scratches or nips at you and you don't see any signs of bleeding, cuts, or wounds, the risk of rabies is among the lowest. Rabies is mostly an infection through saliva, hence, when there is no open wound, the chances are minimal. Watch out for any strange signs such as a fever, headache, or tingling in the area near the scratch. In the event, you spot something peculiar, it's best to get checked out by a doctor anyway. But for now, you should be just fine. Rinse the wound under running water and lather it with soap to disinfect it.

I am 25 years old male ,I have black mole on my back side of my leg
Male | 25
A dark mole can be caused by various factors, including genetics or sun exposure. While most moles are harmless, changes in size, shape, or color can be signs to watch for. It's important to monitor any changes, but don't panic. I recommend scheduling a visit with a dermatologist for a thorough evaluation. They can assess the mole and provide peace of mind if needed. Early professional insight is always beneficial for skin changes.

For some reason my neck has become dark what could be the reason and how to get Rid of it
Male | 25
The condition of acanthosis nigricans is one of the diseases that often become, specifically, darker neck areas of the skin, if that is the case. This can easily occur in the case of mixed-bred factors such as obesity, insulin resistance, or hormonal disturbances. As a result of this, one should maintain a moderate weight, balanced diet, and physical activity. Visit a dermatologist for a detailed examination and proper advice.

My mother and brother have chicken pox. It's been 4 days and taking medicine. I have had this disease before. Is there any possibility of more coming as I am taking care of them? My father is on medication after his stroke. So, can he take preventive medicine? Is there any use in consuming it for so many days? Since we are all in one house, there is a common toilet. Cleaned with Dettol after each use. Is there a problem with that?
Female | 45
It's so cool that you worry about your family's health. As you have already had chicken pox, you are in all probabilities immune to it. Your dad who is in the process of stroke recovery should not use any preventive medicines on his own without consulting with the doctor. It is a good thing to wash the toilet with Dettol to reduce the possibility of the germs spreading. Pure, practicing the supreme rudiments and caring for one another will be enough to get by!

How to gain Weight How to increase breast size How to have clear glowing skin
Female | 21
Include nutrient-rich foods such as nuts, avocados, and whole grains in your daily diet and be associated with strength workouts is the key to muscle mass development. A solution to the breast's firmness and tone can be the exertion of the pectoral muscle lines and the maintenance of a balanced diet. Getting a healthy skin means being hydrated, eating fruits and vegetables, and also using gentle care products. These are two vital steps for the skin to be smooth and radiant. Each one's body physiology is distinct thus it is prudent to seek the medical advice of a doctor in order to devise a personalized health plan.

Pretty sure ive got an ingrown toenail, and im pretty sure its infected. Ive been cutting it myself for over a year but its too painful. Side of my toe’s kind of swollen, its very red/pink. Also if I pull the skin on the side of the ingrown toe part away, pus will kinda leak out a bit. And as of today, its hurting to walk. If i even bump the top of my toe, i get searing pain in my toe. And as of right now, my foot and calf have this kind of ache-y pain.
Female | 20
The swelling, redness, and pus leakage plus pain are the symptoms of infected. The infection might get worse if no treatment is done. The pain and the ache in your foot and calf might be caused by the spreading of the infection. You have to see a dermatologist. They could recommend antibiotics or surgery to take away the ingrown toenail.

I got a cut and there were swiming and after ten days I reopen my wound then the blood clotting is black so tell me some treatment or instructions
Female | 23
The black color usually suggests either dead tissue or infection. Wound management involves e.g. cleaning it with mild soap and applying an antibiotic ointment. Change the bandage daily and pay attention to the wound for any signs of increased pain, redness, or pus. If these develop, you should see a dermatologist who can perform further evaluation and treatment.

For three years now, I have been experiencing an itch that comes and goes on the right side of my stomach. A little bit below my breast. It occurs on the same exact spot. There's no rash or skin discolouration. It is not that uncomfortable, like sometimes I don't even need to scratch it. Placing my hand on the spot can provide relief immediately. It can happen anytime, when I feel hot, when I'm lying down, when I'm walking. I haven't yet noticed a particular trigger.

Hi ! My Name is Hasham and when I was 3 year old my body color change the brown spots suddenly appear on my full body please doctor help me please give me any solution so I get rid of that spots
Male | 24
You may be talking about a condition called vitiligo. Whenever your skin is damaged, the cells that are responsible for giving it its color get destroyed and this results in white or brownish spots on the skin. This could be a result of many factors including genetics or autoimmune diseases. Even though there is no known cure for vitiligo yet, there are treatments such as lotions and light therapy that can help to manage these patches and make them less noticeable. Make sure that you see a dermatologist so that you can learn more about the available options.

I am experiencing some concerning symptoms around the genital area. There is significant redness on the head of the penis and on the skin when it is pulled back. Additionally, a large, raised bump that resembles a pus-filled lesion has appeared on the head of the penis. There is also an unpleasant smell that persists despite washing and maintaining hygiene. The area has small spots and pimples, and the overall appearance is quite inflamed and abnormal. I also feel a burning sensation and itching in the area, which have not improved with regular cleaning. I would appreciate your guidance on this. I am not very sexually active(once a month)
Male | 21
The redness, bumps, and horrible odor are the issues, and the burning and the itching bother you more than they should. Proper hygiene is a defense against the illness; however, self-treatment may not be effective. You should go to a dermatologist to be examined thoroughly and receive accurate tests. They can draw up a diagnostic and treatment plan that suits your condition and deals with the symptoms efficiently.

I have a mole in my nose...how can i remove this mole by home remedies
Female | 15
Moles count the most frequent skin growths. A sore like that located inside the nose is no big deal. The best choice is to let it alone and not to attempt to remove it at home. Consult a dermatologist for the removal of a mole to avoid any bleeding or infection.

When am lay on bed under speed fan after hapend have to go and urien paased more times..
Female | 35
You may be experiencing high nocturia, which is frequent urination at night, you need to see a urologist. Sleeping under a running fan may cause the body to lose more water and may result in increased urine production. This is probably the reason why it is from cases such as overdrinking before going to bed or a bladder issue. Avoid drinking liquids before going to bed and observe whether it is effective or not.

I am facing the issue of itching on cheeks, hands and back
Male | 30
Itching on cheeks, hands, and back could be due to:
- Dry skin
- Allergic reaction
- Eczema or psoriasis
- Bug bites or hives
- Medication side effect.
Try moisturizing, avoiding irritants, and OTC antihistamines. If symptoms persist, see a dermatologist.

"I am 22 years old and have noticed a small, painful lump on the right side of my chin. I've been smoking for the past two months, and a few days ago, I was in an accident where I landed on my right side. The lump is painful when I press on the bone side of my chin. Could you help me determine whether this might be something serious, like cancer, or if it could be related to the recent trauma from the accident ?
Male | 22
Your doctor might be right when he says you have a painful lump on your chin that is a manifestation of the recent trauma from your accident. The fact that it hurts when you press on the bone side of your chin suggests that the impact you experienced is the cause of it. Given your young age, it's less likely to be a malignant tumor. To be safe, try applying a cold compress to help with the pain and swelling. If the lump doesn't improve or worsens, you should go to a dermatologist for another opinion.

If you had this sickness and got help, your wife needs to get checked too. Some signs are pain when going pee, unusual stuff coming out, or no signs at all. To stop spreading it, do not touch private parts until you both get help.
